Changing walkspeed with StarterCharacters

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I recently tried to change the player’s walkspeed by accessing Humanoid through StarterCharacter using this code: Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = ....

Here’s the full code if it’s part of the problem:

label = script.Parent.changelog
creds = script.Parent.creds
blur = game:GetService("Lighting").Blur
sgui = script.Parent.Parent
splayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")


script.Parent.Enabled = true

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player.Character

blur.Enabled = true
blur.Size = 25

sgui.Notification.Enabled = false

--splayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = 0
--splayer.CharacterJumpPower = 0
Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 0
Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").JumpPower= 0

creds:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.196,0), "InOut", "Elastic", 1, true)
wait(3)

creds:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.4,0,0.196,0), "Out", "Elastic", 1, true)
wait(0.05)

label:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.05,0,0.196,0), "InOut", "Elastic", 1, true)

label.continue.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	label:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-0.4,0,0.196,0), "Out", "Elastic", 1, true)
	wait(0.1)

	for i = 1, 0, -1 do
		blur.Size = i
		wait(.5)
	end
	
	--splayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = 16
	--splayer.CharacterJumpPower = 50
	Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
	Player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").JumpPower = 50
	sgui.Notification.Enabled = true
end)

But basically when I click the button, it doesn’t change the walkspeed or jumppower to their original numbers.

Try to use PlayerModule, like this:

local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule"))

local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()

Controls:Disable()--Disable Controls
Controls:Enable()--Enable Controls
#3

It says theres an infinite yield on WaitForChild"PlayerModule"

#4

I can’t seem to get that error…

#5

According to Studio, PlayerModule doesn’t exist in PlayerScripts:

#6

Hm, for me it shows up, I don’t know why it isn’t there…

#7

Can you send a file copy of PlayerModule please?

#8

Here, PlayerModuleTest - Copy.rbxl (21.7 KB)

#9

Now that I have PlayerModules, the UI appears on startup (which didn’t happen before), but still can’t move the character:

Not sure why…
did you use Controls:Disable() in the beginning of the script?

#11

Yeah, and then I enabled it at the end again:

label = script.Parent.changelog
creds = script.Parent.creds
blur = game:GetService("Lighting").Blur
sgui = script.Parent.Parent
splayer = game:GetService("StarterPlayer")
local PlayerModule = require(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule"))

local Controls = PlayerModule:GetControls()

script.Parent.Enabled = true

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player.Character

blur.Enabled = true
blur.Size = 25

sgui.Notification.Enabled = false

Controls:Disable()--Disable Controls

creds:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5,0,0.196,0), "InOut", "Elastic", 1, true)
wait(3)

creds:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(1.4,0,0.196,0), "Out", "Elastic", 1, true)
wait(0.05)

label:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.05,0,0.196,0), "InOut", "Elastic", 1, true)

label.continue.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	label:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-0.4,0,0.196,0), "Out", "Elastic", 1, true)
	wait(0.1)

	for i = 1, 0, -1 do
		blur.Size = i
		wait(.5)
	end
	
	Controls:Enable()--Enable Controls
	sgui.Notification.Enabled = true
end)

I think the problem is the for loop, it seems unnecessary, and I don’t think it lets code after it run…

#13

It runs sgui.Notification.Enabled = true, and why is it unnecessary

#14

It is unnecessary because it only runs once

#15

It is meant to run once, when the player clicks the button on a gui that only appears when they join. If you have an alternative, I’ll listen.

#16

You could just run it once, right?
Maybe not, but if not, why?

#17

No the for loop is meant to make the blur have a gradual un-size, so it looks like the blur is fading away quickly.

#18

but it only runs once, it goes from 1, to, 0, by an increment of 1,
Right?

Changing the Humanoid’s WalkSpeed only works using a Server Script.

If you’re using a Local Script then try creating a RemoteEvent that signals the server to change the WalkSpeed.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:
